  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  ✨ If you’re looking for a Workaway experience that combines Italian countryside charm, sustainability, language teaching and learning, hands-on learning, and time in nature during your free time, we’d love to hear from you.
  
  In September we will start planting lavander and we are in need of some help with that. If you’d join us visit us during that month, expect some garden work with us. But don’t worry, we’ll make it fun.
  
  I am trying to get better with my English so I would love to chat with you about meaningful topics, so that I can learn to engage with my guests more comfortably.
  
  I would be happy if you’d join us every once in a while to have meals together in the garden or exploring together the beauty of Umbria, and you’re more than welcome to also take your own time on your own.
  
  With us you will have the chance to learn everything there is to know about Italian slow living, cooking traditions, managing an agriturismo, working the land and why not, also creating meaningful connections with our guests.
  
  Let’s create something beautiful together. 💛

  We need extra hands to keep running smoothly. Our most pressing need at the moment is to get some help during September for gardening work.
  
  Gardening and Pool
  💜 In September, we will plant lavender bushes and we are in need of help to make this process fun and more doable.
  🌱 Tidying and maintaining herbs, flowers
  🚜 Helping with small DIY projects
  🧹Maintaining paths & outdoor areas (raking leaves, sweeping stone walkways, keeping things neat)
  🌊Pool mantainance (1h per day). Making sure that the area is tidy, that the sunbeds are ready for the guests and that the water is safe and clean to swim in. This has to be done in the morning, before guests are awake.
  
  Hospitality
  💡 Giving guests a warm welcome & sharing local tips (great for social Workawayers!)
  📸 Taking photos/videos for social media (if they have creative skills)
  🍷 Organizing small aperitivo moments for guests (local wine & snacks)
  🛏️Help with check-ins and check-outs
  ✏️Support with secretarial activities
  
  Pocket money and stay
  🛏️We offer free accomodation in exchange for your help. You'll have your own separate apartment and private space. There is a big garden where you can relax and a pool to chill in during the hottest hours.
  💶 You will receive small weekly allowance for your help of 80 euros (based on 4-5h per days, 5 days a week). The tasks will be vaired, and we want to mantain a respectful atmosphere
  🍽️Food is not included in the stay, but you'll have access to a fully furnished kitchen and basic essentials to prepare your own meals. We'll be happy to share meals every once in a while for cultural exchanges
  🌍 Due to Workaway requirements, we do expect you to have a valid visa or permit to visit us in Italy!

  Autres infos...

  📍 We are located in Umbria, near Città di Castello. The closest train stations and transport options will be shared when you confirm your stay.
  
  🚗 Our property is quite far from the city and from bus stops, so it is important for you to have a licence. When possible we can offer a ride to the city, otherwise we can discuss you borrowing our car to go to the supermarket or for day trips.
  
  💬 We speak Italian and English (and love exchanging languages!).
  
  📅 Minimum stay: 3 weeks preferred, but we’re open to shorter or longer stays depending on the situation.

  Bora (4 ans)

  Bora is a Swiss Shepherd who is very active. She loves to play outside, napping in the shade, and exploring the forest.
  She is protective of her property, but she will become fond of you as soon as you start playing with her, and she will even join you on walks.
